Italian Rapper Tony Boy Arrested in Milan on Drug and Weapons Charges

Antonio Hueber, the 26-year-old Italian rapper known as Tony Boy, was arrested in Milan on charges of drug possession with intent to distribute and illegal possession of firearms. The arrest occurred after police stopped him on the street for a routine check and subsequently searched his apartment. During the search, authorities discovered several grams of cocaine, hashish, and marijuana, along with a 6.35 caliber pistol with its serial number filed off, a magazine, and various caliber cartridges. The weapon's altered serial number made it illegal, as it prevented tracing ownership. Hueber was also reported for resisting a public official, receiving stolen goods, and unlawful data processing after he livestreamed the search on social media, capturing the voices of the police officers. Following the arrest, he was taken to San Vittore prison in Milan. The rapper had scheduled concerts for his summer tour in the coming weeks in Palermo, Empoli, Rome, and Bari, which are now in jeopardy. The arrest has sent shockwaves through the Italian music scene, as Tony Boy is a rising star known for his distinctive style. The incident highlights ongoing issues of drug and weapon possession among public figures and the legal consequences they face.
